The shouts from the streets faded away in the early morning, and a new day began.
The fire had gone out sometime earlier, and I was thankful that I hadn't died from carbon monoxide poisoning.
When Liu Nian opened her eyes, she saw the vampire's ambiguous smile.
Following her gaze, it turned out that the blanket had been kicked aside, causing a particularly noticeable awakening in a certain aspect.
Do you understand the principle of "do not look at what is improper"?
This... I'm a normal man, cough cough, this is a normal physiological phenomenon.
Liu Nian blushed and hurriedly pulled the blanket over himself.
Why should I explain all this? I'm so angry I'm hungry!
The food was pulled out of the space and was still steaming hot—unbelievable.
While eating, I tried to plan my goals for the day, but after thinking it over and over, I couldn't come up with anything. I just wanted to go home.
But it's a long way to get home, and I don't know if any unexpected problems might arise.
Let's accumulate points first, and then we'll think about other things after the event is over.
Anyway, plans can't keep up with changes, so let's just let things take their course!
I'll just keep scrolling along the way. If I can get home, great; if not, there's nothing I can do.
The advantage is that you don't have to worry about zombie hordes in the city, and there are plenty of empty rooms.
The downside is that you still have to be wary of randomly appearing monsters attacking the city at night.
Fully prepared, and after a night of hard work, I've now upgraded my Summon Skeletons priority to level seven, allowing me to summon a total of eight skeleton warriors.
Moreover, the pants he wore after defeating Hogger also came in handy, increasing Liu Nian's defense.
Wild Leather Pants (Bottoms) (Blue Quality)
Defense: 4-7 Magic Defense: 2-5
Agility +1, Constitution +2, Strength +1
The attributes weren't particularly suitable for Liu Nian, but in order to complete his set of equipment, Liu Nian still wore it.
Liu Nian now has four free attribute points left, and his health has exceeded 200.
Health points are finally guaranteed; he's no longer a fragile mage.
Today's dose of skeletons has arrived, and Liu Nian promptly summons them.
Looking at the vast army of undead beside him, he felt confident that he could do it again.
The skeleton archers have amassed a force of twenty, which can serve as a source of firepower.
Apart from the zombies slowing down the pace of the game, everything else is fine.
Liu Nian currently relies mainly on the number of skeletons, so he prioritizes leveling up the skeletons, which also passively increases the experience points gained from controlling them. He also uses the Book of the Dead to primarily strengthen the skeletons.
Although I have over 3,000 mana points, it only takes me two or three days to level up my summoned skeleton.
The level gap between Liu Nian and those with limited magic points is now very large.
After walking a distance, Liu Nian stopped.
This area is now outside the radiation zone of yesterday's office building; it belongs to new territory.
It was estimated that there were quite a few infected people, so Liu Nian commanded Dahei to go and lure the enemy.
"Big Black, wake them up, let's get to work!" He gestured for Big Black and the others to sing in unison.
The overlapping, shrill cries of ten ravens caused an uproar among the infected in nearby buildings, who emerged from their hiding places, determined to make these loudmouths pay.
Perhaps because we harvested a batch yesterday, the number of infected people is not high today.
"That's not how you harvest chives," the infected person complained, blaming the giant black bird for flying too high, before turning and lunging at Liu Nian.
The vampire took command, and the skeleton warriors began attacking the onrushing infected.
The agile infected broke through the skeleton's defenses and rushed towards Liu Nian, but was blocked by the obese zombies around Liu Nian.
After failing to break through, the infected grabbed the zombie, tearing its skin apart and triggering the zombie's "Rotting Skin" skill, spraying acid onto the agile infected and instantly reducing its attack and defense.
Taking advantage of its weakness, the ghouls swarmed around it, surrounding it and killing it after several rounds when its spine was crushed by the ghouls.
Without agile infected individuals to get in the way, the remaining mutated infected individuals can't cause much trouble.
As they pushed forward, any infected individuals not forming a cohesive unit could only serve as Liu Nian's experience points.
He eventually followed the path into a residential area, and all the roadside supermarkets along the way were ransacked by Liu Nian.
Unfortunately, after more than half a month, more and more things have become ineffective, and there are very few usable supplies left.
Looking at the rusty iron fence in front of him, Liu Nian decided to go and take a look at the community.
Previously, the only goal was to quickly launch a northern expedition to open up a road out of the city, and the places along the way were ignored as much as possible.
Things are different now. Now people are only here for the activity points, and they'll search for as much detail as possible.
After the scattered infected individuals at the entrance of the residential area were driven away, Liu Nian glanced up casually, and what he saw made him look surprised.
After confirming that he wasn't seeing things, he walked in that direction.
It was a resident's apartment in a building, and a mysterious light emanated from the hallway.
Liu Nian was drawn to the dazzling light, and seeing it brought a smile to his face that he hadn't seen in a long time.
The last time I saw it was before I fled the city.
There's a roulette wheel in that building; I wonder what kind of surprise it will bring.
Looking at the location indicated by the light, he calculated the floor.
Upon arriving at the building, Liu Nian had no choice but to dismount.
The building has about twenty floors in total, and Huaguang issued the signal on the twelfth floor.
To prevent any accidents, Liu Nian began to clear out the lone infected individuals one by one, floor by floor.
Fortunately, most of the infected were trapped inside the door. The security door produced by Sky was worth the price. Even if they could smell Liu Nian's scent, their enhanced bodies still couldn't break free of the security door's restraints.
Constrained by the stairwell's structure, the skeleton army was forced to form a long line.
Liu Nian was right in the middle of this long dragon, surrounded by layers upon layers of people.
What a bad location! It would be terrible if someone blocked us in the stairwell!
"Don't say anything if you're going to jinx it," Liu Nian thought to himself as he walked to the floor where the light appeared and looked at the monster lying in front of the light in the stairwell. He sighed at his own bad luck.
Sure enough, behind the monster, a roulette wheel stood silently.
Liu Nian had never seen a guard protecting the roulette wheel before, and assumed that the roulette wheel was randomly generated.
Looking back now, it must have been the person who discovered the roulette wheel who killed the guarding monster, which is why Liu Nian didn't know there was a guarding monster in front of the roulette wheel.
It's easier to understand why he didn't continue drawing lots. The drop rate of crowns was so low back then that only wealthy people could draw a few times.
The monster was sleeping soundly when it was suddenly awakened by the sound of people coming upstairs. It looked over in confusion.
There's no way to hide it; the sound of the skeleton rubbing against the armor is impossible to suppress.
The monster stood up warily, its muscular body completely blocking the passageway behind the stairwell, also preventing Liu Nian from looking at the roulette wheel.
The creature is reddish-brown all over, with a body that looks like a lion, but a tail that resembles a scorpion, making it appear to be a combination of a lion and a scorpion.
Liu Nian instinctively used her information gathering skills upon seeing the monster.
Lion Scorpion (Elite Unit), lv20, Attack Power?, Defense Power?, Skills?
Well, as expected.
However, Liu Nian was a little surprised that it was actually called a lion scorpion. Could it be that his mouth had really been blessed?
The current difficulty lies in the inability to deploy a formation; as long as it guards the stairwell, it can create a situation where one man can hold off ten thousand.
The monster clearly knew this too, and sure enough, it stood motionless at the entrance of the stairwell.
By attacking from the high ground, they gained a decisive advantage!
This is tricky! Liu Nian looked at the motionless lion scorpion.
